Connecting external cameras on iPad

Hello!

Ask me any question about Lympik.

Please be as specific as possible so I can help you better.

How do I upload data from Oculus to the Lympik web app? What do I need to consider before timing myself with Chronos? How can I analyze Oculus data? Why can't I see any results in my activity? How does video analysis work? Why are my times incorrect? How can I edit my privacy settings? How does payment for the software work at Lympik? How do NFC chips work? What should I do if my Chronos device has no reception? How do I upload data from Oculus to the Lympik web app? What do I need to consider before timing myself with Chronos?

iPad only. Lympik Recorder supports external cameras via HDMI capture devices like the Elgato Cam Link 4K - perfect for professional camcorders or broadcast setups.

To use an external camera:

  1. Connect your HDMI capture device to your iPad's USB-C port
  2. Connect your camera's HDMI output to the capture device's HDMI input
  3. Open Lympik Recorder - the external camera is detected automatically
  4. Tap the camera switcher to select the external camera
  5. Record as usual

Supported formats: Up to 1080p at 60 fps. External cameras always record in landscape orientation.

Notes:

  • iPad OS 17 or newer is required
  • Not available on iPhone or Android
  • The external camera preview may show a slightly different aspect ratio than the phone camera
  • Some capture devices require a USB-C hub with power passthrough for extended sessions
